Herniated Disc

Herniated Disc

The intervertebral disc is an important structure that is present between each vertebral body of the spine. There are 23 discs in total throughout the spine and whilst movement potential at each level is relatively small, the combined potential allows us great freedom to perform many activities. However, it is a structure that must be respected, as it is vulnerable to injury so it is important that we understand it so we can learn how to protect it.

In this episode we discuss the anatomy of the intervertebral disc and the anatomical variations that can be seen between individuals. We identify the 3 major components to the intervertebral disc: the nucleus pulposus, annulus fibrosis, and the end plates, as well as discussing the key actions that we want to avoid in order to protect it. We also highlight how individual variation can dictate potential vulnerability to injury when performing different activities.
